As a typical Shonen anime, Black Clover is no stranger to fan service. While it is not as much as series like One Piece, Food Wars, or Fairy Tail, sexualizing women has become pretty common in the anime.
Plenty of the female characters are shown scantily clad or displaying their assets. Of course, fans have not failed to notice it and lap up the sequences. In fact, very few fans would be able to say that they don’t secretly enjoy the fan service in Black Clover.
Black Clover fans are guilty of relishing its fan service moments
Black Clover has plenty of fan service, and no one can deny this fact. In fact, it would be hard to find mainstream Shonen anime that does not offer fan service. For those who are still innocent, fan service means adding material to a fictional work that is intended to please the audience. In most Shonen anime, it comes in the form of sexualizing female characters to make them appear more attractive.
Of course, Black Clover is guilty of indulging in this trend as well. Characters like Noelle, Vanessa, Mereoleona, and others are often sexualized to attract the audience. In fact, even during life-or-death battles, the characters are clothed in skimpy clothes that show off their bodies.

From Noelle Silva and Vanessa to Mimosa, Charlotte, Mereoleona, and even Sol, no one is spared from the fan service elements. Fortunately, Black Clover does not have overwhelming fan service moments, unlike One Piece and Fairy Tail. In fact, one episode of One Piece even showed a bath scene of Jewelry Bonney, who is mentally still 12.
Vanessa and Noelle are prime fan service victims in Black Clover
The biggest victims of fan service in Black Clover are probably Vanessa Enoteca and Noelle Silva. Vanessa is a magic knight belonging to the Black Bull squad. She has a voluptuous body and has no problems with showing it off. When indoors, she prefers to only wear her undergarments, which is basically a set of red lingerie. When outside, she covers her body, but the outfit remains revealing.
Noelle, on the other hand, wears a rather conservative outfit most of the time. But when she uses her powers and assumes her Saint Valkyrie Dress or its Mermaid form, the outfits are skimpy at best. They show off her body shape as well as chest as much as possible.

There are also random scenes of fan service scattered throughout the anime. But fans have agreed that the anime has actually toned down the amount of sexualization. The Black Clover manga has far more explicit details, which, to Studio Pierrot’s credit, have been censored.
Black Clover manga is available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
